They didn't even tell him - PAG changed it to Racing Yellow. Dealer GM logged in to check everything before next week and saw it was yellow. Called PCNA, who confirmed PAG cancelled 4 PTS cars throughout the East Coast that week without notice.

So now he is going from an Acid Green car to Shark Blue.

More curious on if this is even possible. Don't think you can unwind a wire once it's done. That's why banks always triple check if the who you wire to is legit.

100% true - I’m in banking - once a wire is gone it’s gone for the most part. That’s why there’s so much wire fraud and we have to do multiple call backs to the sender and receiver to ensure it’s accurate info. The dealer is straight up playing games. Give them a set timeline to return your money or get an attorney involved if needed.

Thanks for confirming. Thought so.

Sucks for dealer to come up crap like that to customer. We are talking about official Porsche dealer...

I was at a dealer a couple of weeks ago on a day where they received notification they had 8 PTS orders denied (not all GT cars).

Did any of the tracking tools update when the PTS got cancelled?
Either “my Porsche” or the phone app, showing the tracked “car to be”…

I'd re-negotiate the ADM if I was promised a PTS slot and ended up having to get a standard color due to PTS cancellation. No way would I be willing to pay the same (unless it was a really reasonable ADM)

I think that's where some of us gets tripped up... the definition of "reasonable" gets vastly varied acceptance ...

i cant imagine what would have happened if noone bothered to check and delivery day comes and they unveil a yellow car when the entire time he was expecting Acid Green.

Same. Changed to RY from Signal Yellow. Word from the cleaning ladies is GT4-RS production ending Sept. No MY25. All done. Why there is mass PTS cancellation, as they can't push out builds anymore.

Wasn't there PTS cancelation accross many models including 911? If 4RS ending, you'd think it was just that model.

Yes. Many models, not just 718/4RS. Albeit, this is the speculation I am hearing from several cleaning ladies.

The no room for delays bit is interesting.
